Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?

The Prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Master Geng."

While Geng Xuan was frowning, footsteps sounded, and a jailer slowly came to the door of the cell and called softly.

"What's the matter?!"

"Isn't the case already closed?! How was the verdict?!"

"Can my father come here?!"

Geng Xuan came back to her senses, looked at the person in panic, and asked nervously.

"Master Geng, there is no need to panic. The case is not over yet, and I'm afraid it won't be over for a while."

"I don't know whether your father is here, but someone asked me to tell Master Geng that when we were at Fushou Residence, it was your good friend who made the first move to help you vent your anger, and you accidentally killed someone to dissuade them two. "

"Don't say anything else!"

The jailer smiled and shook his head, then leaned forward and warned with a serious look on his face.

"Are you asking me to retract my confession?!"

"Who asked you to spread the word?!"

Geng Xuan was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at the jailer in front of him, and asked with a vigilant look.

"Don't ask so many questions!"

"If you don't want to get involved with the entire Geng family, just do as I say!"

The jailer glanced around, looked at Geng Xuan seriously, and spoke word by word.

After saying the last sentence, the jailer stopped lingering and quickly turned around and left.

"and many more!"

"What's going on?! Whose order did you take?!"

"Is it my father?!"

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Geng Xuan couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She stood up and opened the cell door and asked.

But before he could finish his words, the jailer's figure had disappeared around the corner.

Seeing that the other party had left, Geng Xuan frowned and began to pace uneasily, wondering what happened.

"It must be father!"

"He must have thought of a way to deal with it! We can be saved! This young master doesn't have to die!"

Geng Xuan paced and murmured to herself.

...

Minghe Hall.

"It's so late, what happened?!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already rested, heard that Kang Haoming and Xiao Huan hurried into the palace late at night, he put on some clothes and came to the front hall. Looking at the two people with solemn expressions, he asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am here to investigate the drunken murder case of Geng Xuan, the minister of Zuo Army Governor's Mansion."

Kang Haoming bowed respectfully and replied slowly.

"Is there any result?"

"Have I not already explained this matter? Marquis Changxing has made many military exploits for many years in the army and is loyal to the court. If he can avoid his son's death penalty, then he can be exempted from it. He will be dismissed from his position and given a slight punishment."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said irritably.

I thought something big had happened, but I didn't expect it was because of Geng Xuan's case.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this case cannot be closed easily."

Kang Haoming looked embarrassed, and as he spoke, he took out the pile of letters from his arms and presented them respectfully.

"What is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked doubtfully.

"Your Majesty will know after seeing it."

Kang Haoming replied slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to signal Wang Defa who was standing aside.

Upon seeing this, Wang Defa hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter and quickly delivered it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Secret message against the party?!"

"Where did it come from?!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang flipped through it, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Kang Haoming with wide eyes and asked sternly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after the incident, the friend who originally invited Geng Xuan to drink with him disappeared mysteriously and his whereabouts are unknown. However, after rigorous investigation, the hiding place of this person was found not long ago."

"After Wei Chen arrived with Commander Xiao, he caught this person and found these letters from his home. It turns out that this person is actually a remnant of the Hu Party!"

"Not only that, I also discovered another thing..."

"Commander Xiao?"

Kang Haoming cupped his hands and spoke in a clear voice. Finally, he turned to look at Xiao Huan and signaled.

"Your Majesty, please look!"

Xiao Huan nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, he opened the portrait he had been holding in his hand!

As Hu Weiyong's portrait was displayed in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang's entire face instantly became gloomy!

Wang Defa, who was standing aside, had a sudden change in expression and took a breath of cold air.

"This was also found from that person's house?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly with a gloomy face.

"Exactly!"

Kang Haoming nodded heavily and answered without thinking.

"That's unreasonable!"

"What a shame, Geng Xuan! How dare you be so bold as to secretly collude with the remnants of the traitor?!"

"Kang Shangshu! Put Geng Xuan on trial immediately and ask him about this matter! Let's see what he wants?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a stern face and ordered sternly.

"According to the order!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to inform the Changxinghou Mansion about this matter?"

Kang Haoming immediately bowed to accept the order, and then asked tentatively.

"What do you know?!"

"No one has mercy on anyone who rebels against the party! Even if it involves Marquis Changxing, I will never condone it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Kang Haoming respectfully agreed, slowly exited the hall, and then immediately returned to the Criminal Department.

Xiao Huan also followed him out of the palace, but he did not accompany him. Instead, he returned to the guard station. His mission had been completed, and the rest was the responsibility of the Criminal Department.

...

Changxing Hou Mansion.

In the backyard, a young man wearing a cloak, led by the housekeeper Liu Hai, quickly entered the study room lit by candlelight.

In the study, Geng Bingwen was pacing with a frown on his face.

"I've met the Marquis!"

When the visitor saw Geng Bingwen, he immediately bowed respectfully and took off the brim of his hat.

As the brim of the hat fell down, the armor under the cloak was revealed at the collar. It was the armor uniformly equipped by the Yulin Army!

"How about it?"

Geng Bingwen looked expectantly, looking straight at the visitor and asked.

"General Guo Datong asked his humble position to tell the Marquis that after His Majesty learned that his son's friend was a remnant of the Hu Party, he was furious and ordered Kang Haoming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, to interrogate him immediately. This case involves rebelling against the party and I am afraid it will not end well."

The person cupped his hands and answered slowly.

"Is that all? Is there anything else?"

"Will Your Majesty be lenient?!"

Geng Bingwen's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he asked anxiously.

"Commander Guo only asked me to convey these, and did not explain the rest. However, Commander-in-Chief Guo asked me to remind the Marquis that since he is involved in betraying the party, I hope the Marquis will take care of himself. This is the first and last time to help the Marquis. , I hope Lord Marquis will take care of you."

The visitor shook his head and said seriously.

Hearing this, Geng Bingwen was stunned for a moment, looking apologetic and speechless.

He knew in his heart that this matter was a matter of stealing secrets, and Guo Ying had already committed a big taboo. If it were not for his past friendship, Guo Ying would never help him.

"The words have been delivered and I will resign from my humble position."

The visitor bowed his hand and turned around to leave without waiting for Geng Bingwen to say anything else.

"Good work."

Geng Bingwen clasped his fists, said helplessly, and watched the visitor leave.

At this moment, his heart was full of mixed emotions and chaos.

Although he agreed to the words of Taisun's emissary, stayed out of the matter and returned to the house honestly, in the end he was still worried that his son would be implicated in colluding against the party, so he used his connections to contact Guo Ying, the commander of the Yulin Army. I hope Guo Ying can help him find out the news about Minghe Palace.

Unexpectedly, the result was similar to what he expected. His Majesty Long Yan was furious. Now he has begun to regret not following Kang Haoming into the palace to meet the saint.

If I had gone there, there might have been room for change.

Faced with this predicament, he once again had doubts about his grandson Zhu Yunxi. He felt that Zhu Yunxi wanted to harm him, but he did not really want to help him.

Thinking of this, Geng Bingwen was so anxious that he didn't bother to go to Zhu Yunxi to argue, and immediately left the house and went to the Ministry of Punishment. He had to find a way to see his son, tell him about the change of things, and let his son respond early.

In the end, he couldn't calm down.

...

Ministry of Punishment.

"Why don't you let me in?! Who gave you the courage?!"

"How dare you stop me several times?! Get out of the way!"

Under nightfall, Geng Bingwen had just arrived at the Criminal Department. He was stopped by the guards before entering the gate and refused to give in.

"Master Marquis, we are only following orders, please don't make things difficult for us."

The guard explained patiently with a grimace.

"The case hasn't been investigated yet, why can't we meet?!"

"I don't want to get involved in this case. It's just that the cold in the prison is too cold. I want to send some clothes to Quanzi. Why not?!"

Geng Bingwen pointed at the guard and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Please forgive me, Lord Marquis, I really can't let you in."

The guard shook his head, still holding the door and refusing to let go.

"Then go in and report immediately. Tell Kang Haoming that I am here in person. You must see Quanzi today no matter what!"

Geng Bingwen stared and shouted in a deep voice.

No matter what, he had to see his son today, and he had to give strict instructions, lest if he said something he shouldn't have said, the entire Geng family would suffer.

To be honest, he didn't know whether his son knew the true identity of that friend...
